77. Unlike Clark, Dean started his Democratic days doing grunt work for
Carter's 1980 re-election campaign. His dedication caught the eye of one of Vermont's Democratic patrons, who encouraged him to run for the chair of his local Dem Committee. He won that chair and after a couple years doing that, he ran for state rep as a Democrat. After he moved from his district, he ran for lieutenant governor as a Dem and won that. He was propelled into the governor's office upon the sudden death of the elected governor. Dean did such a great job as VT gov that the people re-elected him 5 times.

That is what I call building a resume or credentials as a competent Democratic political leader.

How many civilian political elections has Clark run and won? Let's see if we include his attempt at Prez, that makes it 0 wins for 1 run. Were there any others?
